Since I was a kid I have heard people, on occasion, use various phrases involving the "Hatfields and McCoys's" to convey the gravity of an argument or disagreement that was being discussed. While the term itself was quite familiar to me I really had no clue about its origin and the story behind it. I watched this series when it aired on the History channel a few years ago and recently I had been wanting to watch it again so I bought a copy here. Kevin Costner, Bill Paxton, and all the other cast members do what I think is a superb job of representing their historical counterparts. While I don't know if that representation is 100% accurate I feel that it is definitly 100% believeable. The locations, wardrobe, dialogue, and even the mannerisms of the actors, all come together in a completely natural and fluid manner while the attention to detail appears to be flawless. The end result was, for me at least, a movie that completely immerses the viewer in the lives of these two families while simultaneously giving us an incredibly accurate, and interesting, glimpse into the Applachia of the late 19th century in general. If you're curious about the Hatfields and McCoys story, are a history buff for the time period, or you're just a fan of "westerns" in general, then I highly recommend you put a copy of this movie in your collection.

Recieved my DVD fast. Brand New. Although DVDs are cheap and run 15 for $10 in our area. Certain title are tough to find and you've got to pay that extra to get that one gift. Was happy with my purchase. Had been looking been looking for 3 months.

Great historical background of the infamous feud. I'm sure some liberties were taken to key on the stars but it was informative,nonetheless. Pretty intelligent folks considering school was never shown or mentioned. So many years wasted and lives lost because of hard feelings between the clans. An ocassional shower and some toothpaste might have helped but those were the times. Well worth the price!...….

Too much killing, lack of supervision over the strong personalities. Fighting did not seem to adapt to army tactics the leaders knew how to do. Women were pawns in marriages they did not belong. There was no attempt at healing from either side. Hanging of Cotton Top was unfair. Mutulating Mrs. McCoy was unnecessary. Wasn't much love depicted in this movie, but acting was good as were the scenes. Very authentic.
